The Cisco ONS 15454 supports CORBA, SNMPv1/v2, and TL1 as protocols for Operations 
Support System (OSS) interfaces.  The OSS interface is TCP/IP based.  The service provider’s 
OSS can access the ONS 15454 through either an external LAN (10BaseT) or a TL1 terminal 
interface.  A LAN modem can also be used to connect remotely via a dial-in connection and a 
standard modem can be used to connect remotely to the TL1 terminal interface.  The ONS 15454 
accepts TL1 scripts via a telnet session through the RS232 or LAN interfaces. 
 
The ONS 15454 is compatible with several network management protocols, such as Simple 
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and Open 
Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. If OSPF is not available, static routes can also connect to 
ONS 15454s through routers. DCC tunneling is provided for interoperability with other vendors’ 
equipment. 
 

 
The Cisco ONS 15454 allows users to easily manage services and quickly increase capacity 
without disrupting service.  Workstations and laptop PCs connect to the ONS 15454 using either 
direct, LAN, WAN, or DCC connections. Every time you log into the ONS 15454, it automatically 
downloads the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) craft interface application on to your workstation 
or laptop.  CTC uses simple point-and-click GUI screens and online help, which makes it easy for 
anyone to configure the ONS 15454, build circuits, and shoot trouble.  Because CTC is 
embedded in every ONS 15454 Timing Control Card (TCC), the application is always in sync with 
the features and functionality of the current system software load running on the ONS 15454 
network. 
 

 
The ONS 15454 supports a variety of network configurations, including terminal mode (TM), 
linear ADM, Path Protection Configuration, two- and four-fiber bi-directional line switched ring 
(BLSR), subtending rings, path protected meshed networks (PPMNs), and regenerator mode. 
The ONS 15454 can be combined with other Cisco ONS products or interoperate with equipment 
from third-parties to provide end-to-end solutions for SONET and dense wave division 
multiplexing (DWDM) networks.
